How do you change the perception of aging?

@gingerw - By changing our own perceptions of aging I think that it will help others change theirs. I love what you say, " And only experience that comes with living for a while will let me do that adjusting." This is so true. What words do you use to change the slumpy feeling on what might be considered a bad day?

@merpreb I allow myself those "slumpy days", and understand that not every day will be stellar. I am prone to depression, so by necessity I have to watch that it does not become yet another rut to climb out of. When it is evident that I might be sliding into a slump, the mental shake of my head and "pull yourself up, Buttercup" type phrase is needed. Recognizing a temporary situation, not allowing it to get out-of-hand, is critical.
